Mike Barton
is working in Darfur, Sudan as Area Co-ordinator in Tearfund's
Disaster Management Team. He has responsibility for such sectors as nutrition,
health promotion, water and sanitation, food security, primary health care,
and livelihoods. In the event of a disaster Tearfund believes in saving the
person as a whole, not just catering for their immediate physical needs. For
this reason Tearfund will always try and work with the church and local partner
organisations to build up relationships within a community and thereby demonstrate
God's love for the world.
